It took another 20 years of criticism and protest before joint filing was finally replaced with individual taxation. When Sweden did move to individual taxation, it did not immediately drop all marital provisions. At the time, the government bowed to political pressures to offer single-income couples a ‘housewife deduction’ to compensate for the loss of the large tax benefits of US-style joint filing (Sundberg 1975; Gustafsson and Bruyn-Hundt 1991: 32–33). Until the wealth tax was abolished, preferential brackets for married couples gave them lower effective tax rates than those for single persons.

Failure to talk explicitly about the profound material and political differences between single-income and dual-income couples, for example, made the overtaxation of women in joint taxation models completely invisible, placing the burden on future women to find ways to deconstruct these false symmetries and abstractions (Lahey 2001a). Women especially ‘need a ballast against tendencies that confuse theory with unconstrained play’ (Hekman 2007: 6). For women, that means finding ways to present detailed and dynamic information on the material realities of women’s lives, to demand that society and governments recognize ‘economic woman’ at the same time they use critical economic analysis when thinking through what all subjects need (Nelson 2003; Ketscher 2001: 236).
